10 Cardamon pods (crushed)1/2 cup sugar1/2 cup water1 cup good quality apple juice. I used R.W. Knudsen Organic Apple Juice (purchased in my local grocery store)6 ounces Prosecco or Sparkling Wine**, chilled. Select a prosecco or sparkling wine that you enjoy, but you do not need to use "the best of the best," as we will be adding flavor to this drink. For a non-alcoholic version, try replacing the prosecco with ginger-ale!

Mix It!Essentially you are making a simple syrup (very similar to my vanilla syrup)

Prepare the Apple Cardamon Simple Syrup Yield about 8 ounces

First, crush the cardamon seeds. I simply placed mine on a cutting board and smashed them with the blunt end of a large knife. They easily smashed and the seeds were released. Be sure to remove the pod and only use the seeds.

Place
the 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 10 seeds of the (crushed) cardamon in a
medium sauce pan and slowly bring the mixture to a boil until the sugar
is dissolved.

I had my mixture on a low heat and it took about 10-15 minutes.

Add the 1 cup of apple juice to the mixture and simmer for 10 minutes.

Let cool, and transfer the mixture and the bean to am airtight container (I use a mason jar).

Mix the Cocktail

Place 6 ounces of prosecco in a champagne flute

Add 2 ounces (or more if you prefer an even sweeter cocktail) of the apple cardamon simple syrup to the prosecco.
